2,200 still without power in Hudson County this morning, most in Jersey City

As Hudson County still tries to recover from Hurricane Sandy and the nor'easter that dumped up to six inches of snow on parts of New Jersey, 2,200 PSE&G customers are still without power.

PSE&G will also be conducting door-to-door gas line inspections today and through the weekend in Harrison, Bayonne, Hoboken and Jersey City.

"We want to make sure that any customers that may have been
affected by the flooding have their meters properly installed and working
properly," Rena Esposito, a PSE&G spokesperson said.

Gas meters and gas lines will be checked and if someone is not home, PSE&G will leave a card with a phone number to call. A gas inspector will be available in the evenings. Inspections will take priority over other gas-related calls, except emergencies.

"They [inspectors] will be looking at any gas equipment that may be
connected just to ensure that everything is working safely, if there's any
damage, they may need to make repairs as necessary," Esposito added.

Since the power outages, the utility has replaced at least 2,500 poles, 1,000 transformers and has cut down more than 40,000 trees to repair the damage from the hurricane, the release stated.
